This website will be an ongoing
work. It's purpose is to document the athletic career of Brian Oldfield.
He had, without question, the longest active throwing career of any
world class shot putter. His last competitive season was 1988
when, at age 43, he attempted to qualify for the US Olympic team.

While he was the most successful
and accomplished shot putter of the 1970s and early 1980s, his
athleticism made him competitive at many other endeavors. They
include the Highland Games, where he set and still holds multiple world
and American records. He was a competitor in "The Superstars" and "The World's
Strongest Man". He also dabbled in boxing and wrestling.
These endeavors will also be documented on this site.

After all was said and done, Brian
was first and foremost a shot putter. He was the first man to
throw over 72' (outdoors), 73', 74' and 75'. His best throw (75' in May,
1975) still ranks him in the top 4 of all time.

Brian remains active in shot
putting today through coaching. He is available for coaching individuals, groups or
to appear at clinics.
